Boston priest faces child pornography charges

BOSTON — A Roman Catholic priest serving at a South Boston parish has been arrested on child pornography charges.

The Rev. Andrew Urbaniak is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday on possession and dissemination of child pornography charges.

Police say the 39-year-old Urbaniak, a priest at Our Lady of Czestochowa parish, was arrested Tuesday following a two-month investigation and the execution of a search warrant that resulted in the discovery of images of preteen girls on his computer.

Urbaniak was held on $25,000 cash bail.

A spokesman for the Boston Archdiocese did not immediately return a message.
